The ledger

Not books read. Not chapters published. This is the only number that says whether reading changed anything.

Nothing here yet, and that is the honest state.

Actions arrive from chapter frontmatter as they are extracted. This page is computed, so it cannot show something the chapters do not.

What this page cannot do

The evidence on whether an intention becomes a behaviour is specific about what makes the difference, and two of the three strongest moderators are things a website cannot supply: progress that is reported to a person, and a record that isphysical and visible. Harkin's meta-analysis puts monitoring at d = 0.40, larger on both counts.

A private page ticked by the person who wrote it satisfies neither. That is stated here rather than hidden behind a streak or a badge, because simulating accountability is worse than admitting there is none — it would make the page feel like it was working.

If you want the effect the evidence describes, tell someone. That happens outside this repository.
